After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister - Chapter 264
The courtiers were full of confusion, and they discussed and secretly guessed along the way.
Going slowly out of the city, I finally reached the destination.
Everyone looked at the name of the village and froze for a moment, “Sanshui Villa? This is… the village of the head of Qingping County, right?”
It is said that many workshops are hidden in this village.
“Yes, it’s hers, why did the emperor bring us here?” To be honest, everyone is quite interested, this place has been known for a long time.
Mu Wanqing brought people into the village, the head of the village came to greet her tremblingly, her feet were shaking.
Mu Wanqing ordered, “Go ahead and collect potatoes today.”
“Yes, it’s a small arrangement.”
Potatoes? Everyone keenly caught the key points and winked at each other. I had never heard of it.
Mu Wanqing made a gesture of invitation, “Your Majesty, please.”
The most mysterious farmhouse is unveiled, revealing the truest side.
The distribution of farms is patchy, one is divided into two, one side is workshop, the other side is crop planting.
There are patrols in Zhuangzi, all of them are female soldiers, heroic and imposing.
I met several teams along the way, and the entire farm was under their surveillance.
Mu Wanqing did not take them to the workshop, but went straight to the crop area with a clear goal.
This is also divided into several pieces, each piece is marked with a sign, and the Arabic numerals on it are only known to you.
Mu Wanqing took people to the southernmost piece of land.
A hint of joy flashed in the emperor’s eyes, “This land is all?”
“Yes, the potatoes I cultivated after three years.” Mu Wanqing spent a lot of time and energy to grow this potato after continuous improvement of seeds and scientific planting. “Your Majesty, can we start?”
“Let’s start.” The emperor tried his best to restrain his excitement.
Mu Wanqing glanced at the villagers who were in charge of planting.
When they saw the emperor brought a group of important officials over, they didn’t know where to put their excited hands, and they kept shaking when they saluted.
In response to an order from above, they raised their sleeves and started, one of them pulled the potatoes up by the roots.
I saw a vine covered with potatoes, I counted them, and there were twelve of them, of different sizes.
Mu Wanqing picked up the largest potato and handed it to the emperor, “Look, this one can be a staple meal.”
The emperor looked at the potatoes stained with fresh soil, bigger than Mu Wanqing’s fist, “Can this be eaten? Are you kidding?”
“Seeing is believing, but hearing is false.” Mu Wanqing called her entourage to build a fire, set up an iron net, and put the washed potatoes on it to bake.
Also cooked.
The eldest prince also followed, closely following the father, looking at the grill curiously.
The courtiers looked at each other, is this another new type of food? The last promotion of corn kapok to the whole country has given Mu Wanqing a huge reputation.
There is a new kind of food, which is going to heaven.
Why is Mu Wanqing so lucky? Every time they can find something good, why can’t they?
They stared blankly at the villagers carefully digging out the potatoes.
Their hearts are shocked, this output is not generally high.
I just don’t know how it tastes.
The people only know one Qingping County Lord, but they don’t know the names of their important officials.
In the eyes of the emperor, there is only one Qingping county lord, and he will protect her no matter what.
No matter how many people impeached her, they were suppressed by the emperor, who blocked countless conspiracies for her, and made her focus on the economy.
In his eyes, I am afraid that the weight of the entire cabinet combined is not as good as a Mu Wanqing.
The more impeached, the more reused, this **** good luck.
Some people don’t want to see other people’s good, they want to trample them to death, such as secondary assistants.
A tantalizing fragrance spread, and the eldest prince’s surprised voice sounded, “Good fragrance, is this cooked?”
Mu Wanqing observed it for a while, “Bake it for a while longer.”
The eldest prince looked at him eagerly.
The emperor was more anxious than him, but his face was not revealed at all.
The potatoes were finally cooked, the waiter tried them first, and when it was everyone’s turn to eat, the potatoes were not too hot.
The waiter put the peeled potatoes in a small bowl and delivered them to the crowd.
The emperor held back his excitement and took a bite. He was stunned. It tasted better than he thought.
Others also enjoyed it, “soft and waxy, very fragrant, but a little bland.”
The eldest prince is staring at Mu Wanqing, Mu Wanqing peeled and mashed the potato skins, added seasonings and butter milk to make mashed potatoes.
After a series of operations, I can finally eat it.
She took a bite and squinted her eyes contentedly, this is the taste! Delicious.
The eldest prince looked greedy, he knew that the Qingping county master was a master in eating.
“Sister Qingping, let me have a taste.”
Mu Wanqing glanced at him, and generously used a clean spoon to divide the mashed potatoes into two portions, “Take it and eat it.”
The eldest prince put the spoon into his mouth, and then his eyes widened.
His face flushed, “I declare that mashed potatoes are my favorite food.”
No child can resist the temptation of mashed potatoes, not one!
Seeing how the eldest prince was devoured, everyone fell into silence and was a little moved.
The Secretary of the Ministry of War couldn’t help, “Give me a copy of this too.”
The maids around Mu Wanqing all have unique skills. Cooking is a basic skill, and everyone can do it. It is a question of level.
They made a big pot of mashed potatoes, and also made all kinds of potatoes, potato chips, potato chips, French fries, wolf tooth potatoes, vinegar shredded potatoes, potato balls, Golden potato balls, goulash with potatoes and more.
A table of potatoes.
Everyone try this and that, very happy, this potato is delicious no matter how you make it.
“Qingping County Lord, this potato is really good, how did you get it?”
Mu Wanqing said casually, “Du Shaoxuan got it from Hu Shang. I used it to try it out. I didn’t expect it to be successful.”
The eldest prince held the wolf tooth potato and french fries without letting go, and couldn’t find the north happily.
These two are his favorites. They are crispy and crunchy.
“Sister Qingping, how did you get the potatoes out? I ate a lot less food.”
Mu Wanqing dipped the french fries in tomato sauce to eat, and she got the tomatoes and peppers, which made many foods more delicious.
“The timing is very important. In the future, you can eat potatoes every day. However, eating less fried food is not healthy.”
The eldest prince looked at the large potato field and the old high potato mountain dug up, with a happy expression on his face.
The waiter ran over, his face flushed, and his excited voice was shaking.
“Report to the emperor, this potato yields…more than 4,000 catties.”
The emperor stood up abruptly, surprised, “Did you make a mistake?”
“No.” The waiter sent a record, and the ten sets of experimental data were all over four thousand pounds.
The emperor’s heart rose with deep joy, four thousand catties, which is higher than the yield of corn.
The people no longer have to worry about the year of disaster, and they will no longer be afraid of starvation to death with this divine object.
God bless me!
The officials were speechless in shock, what kind of concept is this, comparable to the **** of kapok.
Kapok can keep people warm, and potatoes can keep people full.
The emperor rejoiced, “Qingping County Lord, is this a good seed?”
“It’s alright, you don’t need to pick the ground, and the barren land can be planted. I have sorted out the planting method, just follow it.”
Mu Wanqing pointed to the potato mountain in front of her, “These can be used as seeds, you can take them away, just leave 10,000 catties for me, and I promise Du Shaoxuan that 5,000 catties will It was sent to Xiliang for the people to sow.”
Everyone gasped, how much land is there? At least one hundred acres of land, how many potatoes have to be dug up?
How much will I make if I sell it? She’s too flamboyant, and they can’t match it.
The emperor looked at her deeply, “Are you willing?”
Mu Wanqing bowed her hands with a serious expression, “I study these things for the benefit of the people, to contribute to the court and the king, not for personal gain.”
“Okay, great, here’s the decree, the Lord of Qingping County has done a good job in donating potatoes, and the Lord of Qingping County is named the Lord of Qingping County, and Mu Zhongping, the father of the Lord of Qingping County, is the Marquis of Qingyuan.”
Mu Wanqing only asked for a title for her father, but the emperor gave her an extra promotion.
Although this is of little significance, she still appreciates it.
“Thank you, Emperor Longen.”
The envious eyes of the important ministers are all red, the title of the title is extremely strict these days, don’t even think about it without special contribution.
It doesn’t matter if the head of Qingping County is promoted to the head of the county.
But this Marquis of Qingyuan is too eye-catching. Mu Zhongping was favored just because he gave birth to a good daughter, and he was easily crowned.
Second Fu said sourly, “Everyone else is a wife and a son, I didn’t expect that Qingping County… The county owner is different from others. He worked hard, honored his father and brother, and earned a title for his father and brother. Tired.”
As soon as these yin and yang strange words came out, everyone’s eyes were a little different.
Mu Wanqing doesn’t care, “Are you envious? Then give birth to a daughter who shines like me.”
Secondary assistant is so angry, will he still hurt others when the children in the family are good at it?
No!
Du Shaoxuan also did not fall, and got some good horses and gold and silver jewelry.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the court and the opposition shook up and down.
Potatoes? What it is?
The government soon announced that potatoes are high-yield grains, with a yield of 4,000 catties per mu. Every family can buy 20 catties at a low price with household registration, ten cents a catty, which is not expensive at all.
This also eliminates the possibility of the rich and powerful monopolizing seeds.
When they heard the news, the people went crazy and rushed to line up to buy.
This is the master of Qingping County, it must be true, she is a talented person who made the cement water tanker kapok.
In a short period of time, the potatoes were sold out, and there was no need for the government to promote it.
Mu Wanqing sent some potatoes and planting books to her close family, so she closed the door and did not entertain guests.
The emperor gave the civil and military officials a benefit, each of them could receive five catties of potatoes.
The quantity is small, but it is already hard to find outside.
The question is, the rich and powerful have a lot of land, how can this be enough?
The senior officials all found Mu Wanqing’s suit and almost made a relationship, “Qingping County Master, please help me, give me some potatoes, the price is good.”
“Qingping County Master, we have been friends for many years, why do you have to arrange it for me?”
“Qingping County Lord, my children love to eat potatoes. They have eaten up all their hair. They can’t plant them anymore. You can help me get some better seeds.”
